Oooh lubey those are hard questions. They are more suited to Guardian Soulmates. Do you want a date or not?? I get the feeling you are in avoidance Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 12/10/2011 21:56

Grin Nice one Zany. I'm jealous!

PoppaRob · 12/10/2011 22:03

Is there an essay question as well? I administer a Moodle online learning system for a mate's company who run a few online uni courses, maybe we could run our own course along the lines of "Effective Correspondence And Interaction For Online Dating Hopefuls" with bonus points if participants show off their naked bits as avatars?

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 22:39

I've got a date with Mr Talkative :o hahahaaaa oh this is gonna be such fun. He has improved a bit since that message btw. Still not answered the difficult questions though Wink

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 22:49

Hatesponge yeah he will def recognise me, me not so much as he only visited the office once but I'm sure it's him. We nearly dated before after chatting on msn, I was only talking to him to try and get my last paypacket out of him (hence the dodgy)

He still owes me £50 :o If he cancels and messes me about I know it's def him.

I have a date Friday, make or break time. I have a few other irons in the POF fire, but nothing worth getting excited about! I will report back :-)

stayforappledunking · 12/10/2011 22:56

Squeee!

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 22:56

That's it, wriggly it was you I was thinking of with the date Fri.

Good luck to us all Wine

Hatesponge · 12/10/2011 22:57

Grin you should ask him for that £50 back!

Watch has a date as well I think.

None for me yet - other than the 22 year old and I'm not going there! I have been exchanging messages with the v v good looking man from last night. I would gladly go on a date with him but he hasn't asked...

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 22:57

stay :o

you finished cleaning yet?

OP posts:
stayforappledunking · 12/10/2011 22:59

God no, the dc will just demolish everything all over again tomorrow. Besides I need to clean. Everything. Absolutely everything. Then I need to tidy up myself Grin

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 23:00

I would recognise him in person if it was him. He is a liar and a fantasist, also needy as hell and totally unreliable, as well as having several dodgy companies. If it does turn out to be him I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even turn up but if he did I would get my £50 even if I had to mug him.

OP posts:
PoppaRob · 12/10/2011 23:01

Is the cleaning thing still big in the UK? One of my exes was a Scot and we had some friends from Chester and they were very much into clean windows and swept steps etc. We Aussies are generally a bit more laid back... so long as the place is vaguely hygenic we're cool with it.

stayforappledunking · 12/10/2011 23:03

CLEAN! Everything must be clean.

Seriously, I am lazy with housework, but I like to pretend I am not. And it keeps me busy when counting down the hours, minutes, seconds I have too much time on my hands Grin

lubeybooby · 12/10/2011 23:06

Cleaning... hmmm. I usually have everything 'reasonable' but if I'm to have company for the night then I go cleaning mad and do everything. I've sometimes stayed up all night to get everything done!

OP posts:
Zanywany · 12/10/2011 23:24

When does he get to you tomorrow Stay, will you burst before then. Grin

I try and keep downstairs tidy but as sonn as I've hoovered and cleaned the floor the dog goes into the garden and wipes her paws on the mud and then runs around the house.

I am seeing Mr Body sunday daytime and have agreed to meeting up with Mbis who hasn't come back to me but he has warned me that his internet is down until MOnday. Also agreed to meeting madmax but not heard back yet. Mmmm so thats 3 offers of dates in the last week and once I've said yes I get no replies - a giel could get paranoid Grin. Also I am out on Saturday and my manipulative ex will be there who thinks I will get back with him. He is like a cat who has run out of chances lives

Zanywany · 12/10/2011 23:26

And I think I have agreed to meet Mr Dolphin in a couple of weeks if I hear from him again

TimeForMeIsFree · 12/10/2011 23:33

Hey, well done lubey Grin

Yes, I have date on Friday. Chatted every night and we are both very much looking forward to said date. Tis nice. Even if it doesn't work out all this build up has been loverlee!! Grin

Make sure you keep us updated stay don't be disappearing on us just because Mr Wonderful comes a calling! Grin Wink

Zany you are just too busy! You need a spreadsheet!!

hate tell the 22 year old that he is too old for you. That will flummox him Grin

Looking forward to hearing about your date wriggly, hope it goes well for you. We could do with those wireless things that you put in your ear, like they have on Spooks, we could talk to each other during dates then Grin

Zanywany · 12/10/2011 23:41

It seems busy timw but only have on definate date and thats with Mr Body on snday, I'm blaming the bad typing on my dog, she keeps sitting on me Grin

PoppaRob · 12/10/2011 23:46

time, so in keeping with the Spooks idiom we should call these threads Thames House and dates are "going off the grid"?

stayforappledunking · 12/10/2011 23:47

Time - as if, he shall never come first over the internet dating thread Grin

Zany - quite probably! He arrives tomorrow evening :)

Zanywany · 12/10/2011 23:51

Right I'm off to bed to get some beauty sleep
